The following resolution, pastse
House on the 1 Uh inst. has been i
ed : " " ' -.'-
"Jlcsolved, That lhe President- he rc
quested to inform the House, "f not in- -
compatible with .the public interest,
whether tho reasons given in his special
message for suspending the writ of habtat
corpn still exist, and what 'additional
reasons uovv exist to such extent that the
public sufety requiro the continuance of
tho suspension thereof." -
In my opiiior the reasons given in the
special mt ssage transmitted to Co.igrt-SH
at its last session, recommending the sus
pension ol the writ of Itahtas corpus Ktill
exist in undiminished force, and the pres
ent juncture especially requires the con
tinuance ot the suspension. The effects
of the law for that purpose have been
most salutary, and to that law, iu no in
considerable degree, are wo indebted for
j the increased efficiency of the military
preparations which have enabled our gal
lant armies, under the Providence of God,
to heat baok the vast invading forces
which stilt'threatcn us.

"Ye have nothing new from Virriuia.
Grant is afraid to attack Lee and v. e
not believe he will attempt any move

i
JJuquirer ol the 21st says:
Although w.e have no new' battles to
record, we have accounts from the glori
ous old army of Northern Virginia which
would gladden the breast of stone. Our
army is nut only in the best possible spir
its" and, fighting condition, but is confident
' that if the enemy dares another general
engagement he will be finally and irretrie
vably defeated. The movement of Grant
df from our right, though apparently a
lbtnkir.g manoeuvre, Is ir. fact tantamount
to nothing. If neither causes our army
to 'retreat" nor in any way interferes with
the plans of hen. Lee. The day is not
far olf, we feel assured, when tho menda
cious boasts of the enemy will be com
pletely exposed and his most sanguine
hopes'turned to misery and mourning.
